The following day, news of "Chu Feihong, the former second master of the Chu family, escaping from prison" spread throughout the capital, and the police immediately issued a city-wide manhunt order, causing a sensation.
"That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
"Some people are just too bold!"
In the Chu family's old residence, Chu Yuntian slammed his hand on the table with a loud "bang".
At this moment, the veins on his forehead bulged, his back teeth were clenched, and his wrinkled face was full of shock and anger.
"Grandpa, what's done is done. Now it's more important to find a solution."
"It's absolutely impossible for Chu Feihong to escape alone. I think the investigation into Chu Feihong some time ago wasn't thorough enough..."
Chu Liyue, with her arm around Xiao Wujie's waist, sat elegantly and dignifiedly on the sofa, her voice cool and aloof.
Chu Yuntian's eyes darkened slightly. He calmed his breathing and then said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, my old friends won't stand idly by when they find out. I'll go find them. This time, I'll personally participate in the investigation and make sure no one escapes!"
"Grandpa Chu, please be very careful. Anyone who can orchestrate such a large-scale scheme is probably not of low rank and must be extremely well-hidden. Since they would make such a foolish move, Chu Feihong probably has some fatal weakness in their hands. If they are pushed too far, they may resort to some extreme measures."
Seeing Chu Yuntian's burning anger and righteous indignation, Xiao Wujie's eyes flickered slightly, and he still gently reminded him.
"Good child, you're very thoughtful. Don't worry, Grandpa Chu knows what he's doing."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuntian forced a smile onto his usually stern face. Looking at the barely concealed weariness on Xiao Wujie's face, he said softly:
"Liyue, take Xiao Wujie to rest for a while. I guess you didn't sleep well last night, and you got up so early today. Don't overwork yourselves."
"I'll go find those old friends now and discuss the relevant matters with them."
After saying that, he called the old steward, took the lion-head cane, and strode out.
As soon as Chu Yuntian left, Xiao Wujie immediately relaxed his tense, upright posture, and listlessly rested his head on Chu Liyue's shoulder, his brows furrowed with a deep sense of weariness.
Gently stroking his head twice, Chu Liyue helped him to his feet, and softly coaxed him with a touch of tenderness:
"Sweetie, go to your sister's room, I'll hold you and let you sleep for a while."
The heavy rain of the night finally receded quietly in the morning light, and the sky turned a gentle orange-red. The rays of sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds were like fine gold dust, sprinkling the whole world.
The air after the rain is fresh and moist, carrying the fragrance of earth and greenery, which is invigorating.
Sunlight streamed obliquely into the room through the clean windows, casting a warm glow upon the interior.
The bed curtains swayed gently in the breeze, and sunlight danced on the ground, creating flowing light and shadow.
On the wide, soft bed, Chu Liyue sat gracefully against the headboard, while Xiao Wujie half-lay on top of her, his pale lips pressing against her delicate lips.
After a long, tender kiss, a silver thread appeared at the corner of his mouth. Xiao Wujie, panting heavily, buried his head in her shoulder and neck, collapsing weakly onto her body.
"Feeling better now? Be a good girl and go to sleep for a while."
With her fingers unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt, Chu Liyue's smooth palms, like the finest jade, gently caressed the carotid artery in his neck and the well-defined muscles of his chest, her voice soft and doting.
"Mmm, sister..."
Xiao Wujie let out two comfortable hums, his lips lightly brushing against her sexy and alluring collarbone, nestled in her arms, completely satisfied.
"Sweetie, don't go to the company these next couple of days. Stay home and be a good girl. If you get really bored, just call me and I can come up and keep you company for a while during my breaks from experiments."
Chu Liyue continued to gently caress him with her palm, hesitated slightly, and then said softly.
"Is my sister worried that Chu Feihong will harm me?"
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Wujie half-closed his eyes and murmured softly.
"Hmm... You had a slight fever yesterday. Staying home these two days will allow Lin Qingyi to help you recover."
Chu Liyue hesitated for a moment before answering seriously.
Her thoughts were the same as Xiao Wujie's; Chu Feihong's prison break definitely had some unknown special purpose, and she suspected that this purpose might be related to her and Xiao Wujie.
Although Xiao Wujie was very capable, she had to be cautious because his personal safety was at stake.
"Then I'll listen to my sister."
"Sister, you need to spend more time with me these next few days and pamper me, otherwise I'll feel terrible..."
Xiao Wujie gently massaged her flat, slender, and smooth abdomen with his fingers, and bargained with her while leaning against her.
"Okay, I'll definitely stay with you more. Go to sleep now."
She gently kissed his trembling eyelashes, then grabbed his restless hand and placed it on her waist, coaxing him softly.
"Um……"
He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, closed his eyes, and snuggled even closer into her embrace. Under her gentle coaxing, he quickly fell into a deep sleep...
In a deserted park, the trees still stand tall, but their branches are covered with spider webs, and the occasional bird song breaks the tranquility.
A tall figure walked through the overgrown path to the deserted lakeside, crossed his long legs, and sat on an old, faded bench.
He stared blankly at the lake in front of him. A few fallen leaves floated on the surface of the lake, which shimmered in the sunlight after the rain and appeared exceptionally clear.
After a long while, he suddenly felt weight on the other end of the bench, and a figure sat back to him.
"Father……"
His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't turn around; he simply called out softly.
"Ah Chen, how have you been lately?"
A deep, hoarse voice came from behind him, filled with undisguised weariness.
“Father, come with me. I have a way to get you out of the capital.”
After a brief silence, he spoke softly.
"Leave? Where can you go? Hide like a mouse for the rest of your life?"
"It's no use. Some things can't be avoided, and I never even thought about avoiding them..."
After a long silence, a voice tinged with helplessness broke through.
"Father, you can't beat them."
"This time it wasn't them, it was him..."
His deep, hoarse voice carried a chilling, sinister undertone.
Another long silence followed. Sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling their bodies, but offering no warmth whatsoever.
"Achen, I know what you want."
"I had no way out long ago, and I had no intention of living a wretched life."
"I'll help you find out his background and get rid of him. The rest is up to you..."
After speaking, he took a miniature earphone from his pocket and placed it on the bench. Then he slowly stood up, stood silently for a while, and finally walked away, disappearing into the shadows where the sunlight had been blocked...
